    When we try to show an specific Leaderboard in GameCenter, it always shows the default Leaderboard (specified in the GameCenter Manager of the App).

    In detail: Let's say we have 2 different leaderboards defined in the GameCenter Manager (LB_01 and LB_02). One of them has to be marked with "Default" tag (for example LB_01). Then, when we call Social.ShowLeaderboardUI(); in our game, it always shows the "Default" leaderboard (LB_01). Does anybody know how to specify which leaderboard to show?

    Or in other words, how would you do it to show the LB_02 without having to make it the "Default" leaderboard?

    I couldn't find a way to have Unity load specific leaderboards so I went ahead and bought the Prime 31 plugin -- specific leaderboard loading works with that plugin.
    (No I don't work for Prime 31 :)

    It is not possible to do so through the inbuilt social api right now. You can only decide to show what you already found or not show anything.
    You would need to use a 3rd party GameCenter plugin like Prime31s

    I believe that's just: Social.ShowLeaderboardUI();

    @Tekksin You would have hoped so wouldn't you, but it shows the first leaderboard for me in Unity 5.1.3

    I'm running 5.2.1 and Social.ShowLeaderboardUI(); shows the "tap to rate this game" (top left) and Like Button to the right of that. Below are the tabs for scores and challenges. Is that not what we're looking for?

    Yup that's what I'm after. Perhaps it's been fixed in 5.2.1 or it's because I have several leaderboard sets each with 3 leaderboards in. But for me the call shows our first leaderboard and I have to hit back to get to the list of leaderboard sets.

    Sadly `GameCenterPlatform.ShowLeaderboardUI(leaderboardID, timeScope);` no longer seems to work (as of 5.3.5). It just opens the top level leaderboard interface.

    Same here. I'm currently using 5.3.3. Is there a bug report for this already?
